Preventing Deep Wound Infection after Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: A Review

We recommend that cardiac surgery programs supplement their audit processes and ongoing vigilance for infections with periodic, multidisciplinary reviews of best-practice standards for preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative patient care.

Risks for Impaired Cerebral Autoregulation During Cardiopulmonary Bypass and Postoperative Stroke

The purpose of this study was to identify risk factors for impaired autoregulation during coronary artery bypass graft, valve surgery with CPB, or both and to evaluate whether near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) autoregulation monitoring could be used to identify this condition.
